I've had that Brand V bag since...2012 or so? It is a great bag...but the zippers(YKK I think) aren't working as smoothly as I'd like and there is some fraying/unravelling of the fabric around the zipper track. Maybe operator error. I suspect maybe some beeswax or even a dry bar of soap along

My first "real" bike after my two-speed Schwinn Typhoon was a Frejus I bought at Robert's Cyclery in Chicago. It was the first bike I'd ever ridden that felt alive. I rode that all through high school and college. Years later I picked up a nicely restored '63 Jack Taylor Super International fra

Patrick, Rich, Ryan, Thanks for the kind words. I was wondering if it was worth the review, on the assumption that this kind of deal wouldn't last, but I just checked and that bag is still in stock. I think I'll test it out with a camera this weekend. Drew On Monday, June 26, 2023 at 8:50:53

Lovely understated frame. I take it that the braze-on on the fork is for a generator. But I can't figure out what's up with the braze-on and bolt in the middle of that coppery stem. What is it for? On Monday, June 26, 2023 at 11:03:19 AM UTC-5 mr.wa...@gmail.com wrote: > My first "real" bike af

Further update: the VO bars are 25.4 clamp diameter and appear to be the Course model. Due to flare, these measure 42 cm width at the ends and about 39.5 cm c-c at the hoods. On Monday, June 26, 2023 at 2:06:41 PM UTC-4 Ed Felker wrote: > Update: The five Noodle bars are sold. > > The Dirt Dr

Hey group, With life ever-changing my wife and I are putting our (2) 60cm Platypus bicycles up for sale. We’re going to be nomadic for the foreseeable future and need less valuable bikes (we’ll see how that plays out, lol) with emphasis on shorter wheelbases for ease of transit and storage.

Glad this was a good deal for a few folks. I ordered one of the black Anchor Hip Packs, myself. Already have a Dakine Hot Laps Stealth and EVOC Hip Pack Pro hip bags and the Swift Industries is a nice Goldilocks addition that is between the two of those, size-wise. It's very close in main secti

Patrick was correct on the bracket on the fork of the Jack Taylor. That was the bracket for the headlamp. The fitting on the top of the stem is an integral center-pull brake cable hanger and adjuster. I had it set up with some long reach Mafac brakes and it worked beautifully. Here's a close-up.
